ENGLISHThe specified coordinates point to the Brühl's Terrace, which is a historic architecural ensemble in Dresden. Nicknamed The Balcony of Europe, the terrace strechtes high above the shore of the river Elbe. It is one of the favorite inner-city places for locals and tourists. We want to take a closer look at two myths, which have grown up around the Brühl's Terrace.

The first one is a legend of a woman dressed in white.
At the place where the Art-Academie (additional waypoint) is located now, in former years there was a famous café, the Café Reale. According to the myth people sometimes saw a woman dressed in white leaving the Café Reale and jumping over the railing into the river. A lot of folks thought she was the ghost of Teresa Albuzzi Todeschini (1723-1760) who couldn't find peace.To complete the picture we want to tell you,she was an italian opera singer, the mistress of Earl Brühland didn't die in Dresden. She strained after a long illness in Prague.

Another legend tells of Augustus II the Strong (1670 - 1733). He was Elector of Saxony (as Frederick Augustus I), Imperial Vicar and elected King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. As Elector of Saxony, he is best remembered as a patron of architecure and the arts. He established the Saxon capital as a major cultural centre, attracting artists from across Europe to his court. Augustus also amassed an impressive art collection and built lavish baroque palaces in Dresden and Warsaw. Augustus' great physical strength earned him the nicknames "the Strong", "the Saxon Hercules" and "Iron-Hand". He liked to show that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes and coins with his bare hands or crushing pocals. (source: wikipedia)
The legend is about his thumb-print which you can find at the railing that borders the Brühl's Garden. Unfortunately the railing was built 14 years after Augustus' death. So the legend does not stand up to scrutiny.
But we like this myth and to log this virtual cache you have to

fulfill the following task:Enjoy your walk across Brühl's Terrace to N51°03.182 and E013°44.748. There you look for the notch in the railing that forms the basis of the myth. But do not be misled since there were added some more notches over the years. If in doubt, take the northernmost or match the notch you found with the attached photo.
Press your thumb in the notch, take a foto and add it to your log.

The guidelines are the basis for this task - logs without a foto of your thumb in the notch we have to delete.
